Apsis Splash Guard????
I am confused. I am thinking of purchasing the Apsis splash guards for the front of my 2013 GS vert.
I am reading the installation instructions and it says to remove the screw in the wheel well and use it to install the new guard. There are no screws holding on the fender trim on a 2013 GS only push snap fasteners.
Has anyone put the Apsis splash guards on a 2013 GS or ZO6 ?

Unless Apsis has changed the mounting scheme, you remove one screw underneath the car just rearward of the wheel opening. The screw head faces straight down and is about two inches rearward from the wheel opening and about one inch inward from the edge of the painted body panel as it wraps under the side of the car. It's one of the usual black self tapping 7mm screws used in many other places on the car. When replaced thru the hole in the Apsis splash guard, that screw secures the bottom edge of the guard. You'll use another self tapping screw (supplied by Apsis) near the top of the guard to finish the installation. Let me know if you still have questions.

Joe, sorry I didn't read your OP clearly last night so somehow I thought your car is standard C6 convertible. Since your car is GS, then you don't have the plastic fasteners. Just like other members replying you here, it's that easy. Only remove one screw at the bottom of the wheel well.

Hi all
Actually went with the Apsis Splash Guards. Went to Apsis today and met Jersey.
Ok so these splash guards are nice. Easy install on a 2013 GS you have to drill one hole and Jersey recommended a second if your not happy with the tightness. I went with one hole drilled on the left side and 2 on the right. I got the ones with the rubber seal installed,he glues it on so all you have to do is install the unit. IMHO they look as if Chevy put them on during production, If your not a vette guy you cant tell they are after market. If they keep the stones off my rear quarter panel they were worth every penny.

Won't keep *all* stones from causing abrassions but will stop a lot.
Best 'mod' I ever did, wouldn't take long for sand/pebbles to strip off ALL the paint, otherwise. Been there, done that.
